“…Its conservation requires maintaining old growth forests with decaying trees in the Príncipe Natural Park, including Azeitona. Another Cerambycidae, Ceratocentrus oremansi, reported in 1998 (Delahaye and Camiade 2016), is much smaller (3.2 to 5.5 cm) and has been found in several forest areas on São Tomé Island.…”

“…Charles E. Griswold and Joel M. Ledford from the California Academy of Sciences visited São Tomé and Príncipe in 2001 (Kavanaugh 2005), Clive R. Turner and Tõnis Tasane from the African Natural History Research Trust (Herefordshire, England) and the Natural History Museum (London) visited São Tomé in 2016 (Darby 2020). Several other entomologists visited the islands since 1980, and published descriptions of their findings, notably Jean-Guy Canu from Príncipe between 1989 and 1991 (Allard 1990;Antoine 1992) and Norbert Delahaye between 2013 and 2016 (Delahaye and Camiade 2016). The French NGO Microland also visited São Tomé in February and October 2019, the latter expedition including a week on Príncipe, and whose results on Coleoptera are published here for the first time.…”

The known beetle fauna of Príncipe, São Tomé, and Annobón amounts to 403 species and subspecies, of which 190 (47%) are endemic. The most diverse families of beetles are the Cerambycidae (61 species), the Tenebrionidae (57 species), the Carabidae (45 species), the Scarabaeidae (34 species), and the Coccinellidae (31 species). Most records come from São Tomé, with 297 species. In comparison, Príncipe, with 151 recorded species, and especially Annobón, with 16 recorded species, still require extensive faunistic investigations. The families Staphylinidae and Curculionidae probably hold numerous undescribed species and should be the focus of future research. Most of the endemic species live in forests. Therefore, the continued conservation of large forest areas on the islands is key to the long-term survival of their unique beetle fauna. As elsewhere, the beetle fauna will likely suffer from the effects of climatic change, and high-altitude species are likely to be the most severely affected.
